Dadapalooza Post: On Taking the Bear to the Theatre
As some of you may know, I’ve started up a Dad’s blog also: http://www.dadapalooza.com. In that blog, I’ll write specifically about being a Dad, and the pleasures and perils of that position. As many of our Yonked readers may be interested in reading those posts also, but in interest of not duplicating content everywhere. I’ll…

CSA Haul Week 3: Video Walkthrough Edition
Since S is out in Utah speaking at the EVO conference, it’s up to me to blog our CSA Haul for this week. I thought I’d give you a little visual of the CSA grabbing itself. Stephanie rarely goes, so it’s up to me to actually grab the food every week. When you arrive, you…

CSA: SLOW COOKER RECIPE
Realized that we needed to start cooking up vegetables, so I pulled out the slow cooker, 3 lbs of pork loin from the freezer, and went to work. Cut up a raft of last week’s scallions, still good, but getting very green. Garlic scapes Turnips. 1/2 cup cider vinegar the remaining chimmichurri marinade. (about 1/8…

What kind of sleep hole have we dug?
I’m really starting to think that we’ll never sleep well again. From the beginning Adam and I agreed that we didn’t believe in letting Aaron “cry it out” at night – we didn’t want him to think we were abandoning him or that we didn’t care. And so for the first ten months, nearly nine…

CSA Week 2: In which Joey gets his greens
We’re seeing a nice bounty thus far, though it’s still early in the season. I can’t remember if it was last summer or the summer before, but one year we started with a really meager share as there was too much rain in the spring and the fields were flooded. It wasn’t until the end…

Second summer
I can hardly believe we’re starting Aaron’s second summer. As I sat yesterday watching Adam push him on the swings in the playground, it seems nearly inconceivable that a year ago Aaron wasn’t even walking, and now the playground (“paawk”) is a major fixture in our lives. Aaron is such an outdoors boy; maybe that’s…

CSA: First haul of the season!
Today was the first day of our CSA! We were told by the farmer that it could start this week or next, but due to the plentiful rain and nice weather, this week was it. I’m really excited to “liveblog” our CSA experience this summer. And though haul posts are typically video, I plan to…

Creating the logo for Yonkers.
There’s a very interesting arts contest going on right now at  http://www.citid.net/ They are asking graphic designers to create a logo for their city, that captures the vibe of that city. It’s for a future book and exhibition. Not being a graphic designer, I decided to come up with one anyway. My idea is that…

Our CSA haul – a new weekly series beginning soon
One of my recent resolutions is to blog more frequently here at Yonked.com. I’ve been blogging three or four times a week at StephanieSchwab.com, and I’m finding that now that I’m writing regularly it seems easier to commit to more frequent posts here as well. So I’m planning on a weekly series of posts about…
